The Liberal Arts Honors Program is now accepting applications for LAH students and Humanities majors who will be studying abroad in Spring 2015.  In January, we will open the portal for students studying abroad in Summer 2015 and Fall 2015. An LAH student may apply for this scholarship by writing a one-page statement of his or her study abroad plans. The statement should include where and what the student will be studying, the projected cost involved, and the role that study abroad and the mastery of a foreign language plays in the student’s academic and career goals.

For students going abroad this Spring, the scholarship deadline is:

November 1.

Please submit your application online through the study abroad online scholarship application, Global Assistand select “Get Started”. The website will prompt you to set up an online profile and show you a list of scholarships which criteria you meet. If you are applying for a study abroad program not affiliated with UT, please enter program code 300999.

Both LAH students and Humanities majors are eligible to apply for the LAH Study Abroad scholarship. Please contact the LAH office with any questions.

Iberian and Latin American Languages and Cultures

Leave a reply

As you might already know, in the new 2014-2016 undergraduate catalog, students may no longer select SPN or POR or any SPN/POR concentration as a major.  The new major in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese is called Iberian and Latin American Languages and Cultures (ILA). 

Some students are having a hard time figuring that out!  So the advisers, Liza Hastings and Daniel Zarazua will be holding two information sessions next week to let students know that we are still around and there is still a major in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

Please attend one of these sessions for more information about the major:
